Our policy on sources
[edit]Hi - I'm afraid you've been reverted by two editors - I'm one of them. Our policy on sources is at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS is a guideline to help editors find sources meeting our policy. I'm afraid that we rarely use self-published books on sources, which is why your edits were reverted. You also need to read WP:COI on conflict of interest. Sorry about that, but there's no reason to expect new editors to know our policies and guidelines. Dougweller (talk) 18:56, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Brought your book up on a noticeboard
[edit]Please respond at WP:RSN#Self-published book being used for Arthur Lawley, 6th Baron Wenlock. And please make sure you are editing loggedin, I presume you are the IP who just reverted me. Dougweller (talk) 13:44, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit]Hello.
When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 19:00, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
